I thought at first this was a set up.<br>But she really was unprepared, and still pulled it off.

She once said in an interview "I wish I could be like Liza Minnelli and spontaneously get up at a party and stand by the piano and sing. I can't. It scares me too much." She was scared to death I think. Do I understand it? No. (Edit; only because if I could sing like that you'd never shut me up!) But most of us have fears that, at one time or another, might seem irrational to others. But they're real to the person who has them. Is a praying mantis crawling up your leg going to hurt you? No. But very few of us could honestly say we wouldn't freak out if we didn't feel a tickle and look down and see one of those things on our shin.<br><br>This is obviously to promote "Yentl" (that's Michel Legrand with her) so it's well before overcoming her fear of public performance--thanks to teleprompters and Paxil she has said. I've seen her live twice, and many times on cable, DVD, talk shows, etc. since overcoming that fear. Today she would get up and do it and laugh at herself for forgetting the words.

I’ll take a few bars of humming from Barbra over a song from any other singer around today.

She's still so good even when unprepared.

A lot of artists need to prepare their voice and their minds to perform especially a pro like Barbara they are lucky she complied I know she has always suffered with severe stage fright😳🥺😍

Streisand’s voice is always beautiful. I think she was caught off-guard, but sang the haunting melody nonetheless. Legrand should have chosen a lower key to accommodate their voices.
